(sorry, I can't translate some words very good/there isn't really a translation)

What am I doing wrong? Am I the only one having this problem?

edit: problem solved: click. Found this and it seems to work. I'm now busy downloading some stupid fonts .edit2: Wine is installed!edit3: Install gecko package for Wine (Wine freezes during auto-update):

I am seeing the same problem on 32-bit. Programs will not run from the menu but will run if I navigate to the .exe file and run that with right click and select Wine Program Loader.

I saw this too. All the Wine menu items end up in "Other" instead of their own "Wine" category. Strange. This worked fine in LM9. It doesn't affect me much because I only run one program under Wine and that's Password Safe.

I have Linux Mint 13 64-bit Mate both on desktop and laptop. Wine is working well on both computers. The only problem is the wine short-cuts in menu "Other" - no separate menu with subfolders for wine.

Thought about reinstalling wine, but after reading this thread decided to keep it as is. Short-cuts is not so important anyway

@BmartinM, that sounds like you first need to do a "sudo apt-get upgrade". You are trying to install an older version of those libraries than are available in the repository. This usually happens when your local package index is outdated and still has the older version in the list. When you do the apt-get upgrade, your local package index is updated. You should generally always do an apt-get upgrade before trying to install something from the terminal (Software Manager does it automatically).

If you have specific problems, it is best to open a new topic on that and include the steps you have taken and a copy of the error messages (if any) you got. As to this topic, some users have been confusing the issue by also posting here on problems with installing Wine from other sources than the Linux Mint repository. Trying to install newer Wine versions will likely have different issues.

I installed wine 1.4 (only one available through the Software Manager) with no issues on LM13 KDE 64 bits.I can also install windows apps quite easly, I can see them in Wine menu... but I cannot run them!If I try to launch them, I see the right icon jumping but after a while everything desappears and nothing happens. I tried with dvdfab, freemake dvd, ripit4me... none of them worked!Really sad...

Over at Wine they point to Ubuntu and, given the regressive quality of the distro recently, I can't blame them. the Ubuntu PPA version of 1.5.20 completely broke Wine for me and I needed to roll back to v1.4. This is fine until World of Warcraft requires a patch because the the installer fails under 1.4...

The guys at the Wine forum suggest the real fix for these problems is that, if you need to run Wine 1.5, build it from source and don't rely on the Ubuntu PPA.

I checked all these files are still on my computer. I installed out of the repository so it 1.4 not the latest but no removals.Its working for one speciality piece of software that is a 'must have' for me, this ap works on the last 3 or 4 MS OSes.Winetricks seems pretty sad item. Its more of a proof of concept exercise. I am still fuzzy on the process.

Or a better question, has this been resolved completely and can the latest wine be installed without manual dependencies? I just "upgraded" from 32 to 64 and found this thread. Has it been resolved or does the workaround in the OP still work for latest wine versions? I know I'm resurrecting this thread, but I didn't see where it was resolved.
